aribisala0:The bolded gave me a good laugh.. ![]() The aim of the sanctions is to prevent cooperation between russia an the EU to keep the EU firmly under US control. So yes sanctions are working as intended.. They slowly make Russian economy bleed.. Investments escape fast and grow seriously. Sanctions are not meant to be instant but slow..pressing and depressive.. Who said sanctions don't work? Russian economy is in constant decline since the sanctions have been introduced. Russian currency is in decline..even their military budget..sanctions work economically but they also hamper Putin's cronies since they can't leave country to visit exotic locations and they also feel the pain because their assets in US and EU were ceased...So again sanctions work very well.. ![]() ![]() 23 Likes 1 Share |

GreyLaw:That is what the US want you to believe Russia hosted one of the best football World Cups in memory and we all saw that it is not as shitty as the West portray It may not be wealthy as America but what are the facts Its population is under 200 million. It sells 5 x as much oil as Nigeria, a lot more gas and is one of the largest sellers of weapons. It is a net exporter of food Its GDP per capita is $10000 similar to that of China 28 Likes 2 Shares |

FERNANDEZISBACK: Do you have any data to back up your claim that the Russian economy is in decline? Sanctions can be said to be working if they achieve their objective. That is not happening Russia is escalating the behaviour that triggered the sanctions s THEY ARE NOT WORKING 15 Likes |

In a layman's terms, lemme explain what Russia is trying to do by granting independence to two Ukraine territories. It's just like Buhari granting two local governments in Niger Republic independence from Niger because they have a higher Hausa population than indigenous Niger Republic. It's a violation of international law. You can't give independence to a country that isn't within your power. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

aribisala0:The Russian economy by all accounts (both domestic and external) show that since sanctions began in 2014 has not exactly struggled as been forced to find compromise. When sanctions began, the Russian Federation had strong industrial, technological and agricultural interests in Germany, France, Austria, Hungary in particular. Russian grain and produce flowed into Germany and German engineering products flowed into Russia. Russia relied on France for night-vision systems for its military, and the large Mistral ship project was scrapped, forcing Russia to more than likely ditch France for future deals. US directed sanctions forced EU countries to deal with Russia at their peril; interestingly enough Russian rocket engines were never initially affected and were allowed to continue on their way to NASA. Russian companies were hit hard, but all it forced them to do was look Eastwards; China. The Russians essentially were forced away from their traditional market in Europe and pushed into the Chinese markets, to which they in turn became a market for Chinese goods too.. The EU has effectively lost the traditional Russian market to China, and in return the US has begun sanctioning European states that try and deal with Russia, and China, and Iran, and anyone else the US doesnt like... The Economic Expert Group (EEG), an independent Russian company, estimated the total losses from the sanctions in the period 2014-17 at $600 billion. Bloomberg says that sanctions may have knocked as much as 6 percent off Russia's economy over 2014–18.. The Russian economy went from $2.2 trillion nominal in 2013, before the sanction, to $1.3 trillion in 2015, after the sanctions. That is a $900 billion dent, or more importantly in terms of percentage - it killed 40 percent of the Russian economy. The US had an $16 trillion economy in 2013... You can argue as much as you want but the fact remains the same the Russian economy is feeling the heat no doubt.. 18 Likes 1 Share |

GTkester:No they haven't. The US can cut off Russian banks and businesses from having access to US dollar and that essentially cuts them off from the global financial system. This is something the Russians are afraid of and even Putin has said that if the US does such a thing, it will be considered an official declaration of war. Various tools in the US box. The US can go after all Putin's oligarchs who are known to secretly hold Putin's wealth. 7 Likes 1 Share |

FERNANDEZISBACK: We are heading into a multipolar planet, America is being distracted with COVID and Cold War antics. Putin simply needed to define the future of America by redirecting Biden's focus from Development into promoting Pharma products and waging wars. It is a distraction, and nothing more. What will happen will be a cyber war, and it will be worldwide. That is what is on the blueprint as I see it here 1 Like 1 Share |

FERNANDEZISBACK: What happened to oil prices between 2013 and 2015 The decline in GDP was largely driven by the crash in oil prices which affected Nigeria and other oil exporters You are not well informed What sanctions exactly are you talking about? The sanctions mainly target individuals and not the Russian economy stop lying just to win a pointless argument The US still imports more oil from Russia than from Nigeria and Russia does good business with the EU Your knowledge of the "sanctions" is very superficial In 2019 the US imported over $30 billion from Russia How much did they buy from Nigeria which is not under sanction? 13 Likes 1 Share |
